We're all about the green beans.

There is nothing that can quite match the taste of farm fresh green beans. Sure, the prep time is a bit longer than if you were opening a can or using a bag out of the freezer, but it's a real treat and one I like to take advantage of since the season only lasts for a few months of the year. I think it's a joy to cook with the freshest ingredients I can find.

How to choose and store fresh green beans.

Buy the freshest and plumpest beans you can find. If they're limp, they're not fresh. When you break them they should have an unmistakable fresh "snap" to them. When you bring your fresh green beans home don't wash them. This can cause them to develop black spot and spoil. They will keep in the crisper drawer in your refrigerator for three to four days with no problem. Don't wash them until you're ready to cook them. When you're ready to use them run them under cold running water to rinse any dirt off and drain them.

We hope that you'll enjoy these tried and true green bean recipes, and that you'll check back with us often as we add to our recipe database. We have a wide variety of recipes, from classics like green beans almondine and Campbell's green bean casserole, to new recipes such as green beans a'la Waterman's. We're proud of our variety of ethnic green bean recipes. You'll be amazed how easy and how tasty these recipes are. Try our Greek Green Beans, green beans slowly simmered with onions, garlic and tomatoes, or the German recipe of Pears with Green Beans & Bacon, a fabulous sweet and sour recipe featuring fresh ripe pears. Try our Russian green beans in sour cream and tomato sauce another great recipe guaranteed to "wow" all your family and friends.

Cooking fresh green beans.

Before you decide how to cook your green beans consider their age. Very young and tender green beans, or what are true "haricots verts" should be used in recipes where blanching is all that is called for. More mature green beans can handle longer cooking times.

Snip the very ends of the beans off, about 1/4 inch. Now, decide how long you want your beans. I usually cut my beans about 1 1/2 inches long. Sometimes, if I have an unusually nice batch I may leave them whole, they may be up to 4 inches long, it really is a lovely presentation.

Italian Green Bean recipe, St. Anna Bean recipe
This recipe comes courtesy of The Complete Mediterranean, The Beautiful Cookbook. There are several variations of this recipe. Another Tuscan variation of this recipe calls for the addition of one teaspoon of fresh marjoram, which we'd suggest you add right at the end of cooking for the freshest flavor. For a Lebanese flair you can use tomato paste in place of the chopped plum tomatoes and add parsley, mint, dill or oregano to taste.

Holiday green bean casserole recipe
Everyone's favorite holiday green bean recipe. Anyone who cooks, and everyone who has ever eaten a Thanksgiving dinner is familiar with that old favorite the green bean casserole. What could be more simple, frozen or canned green beans, cream of mushroom soup and canned dried onions. Just try to find canned dried onions within three days of Thanksgiving in any foodstore - good luck. Campbell's came up with this creamy/crunchy concoction in 1955.

Different varieties of green beans
I remember the first time I heard the Barefoot Contessa Ina Garten use the term haricot verts I couldn't think what it could be. Knowing how Ina loves French cooking I knew that it must be some fabulous French ingredient I'd never heard of. Well, imagine my surprise when I leared that haricot verts were green beans! True haricot verts are very thin, crisp and tender green beans.
